00:00Trump White House mocked for latest update.

00:03A new sign posted outside the Oval Office has triggered a wave of online ridicule,

00:08with critics and political observers seizing on the image to satirize recent aesthetic changes inside the White House.

00:14A photo of the sign, which says the Oval Office in cursive writing, surfaced on social media,

00:20quickly drawing attention from commentators and public officials.

00:23Posting on X, CNN chief White House correspondent Caitlin Collins wrote,

00:27Looks like there is a new sign outside the Oval Office.

00:31Her post went viral, generating thousands of replies and a broad array of memes.

00:36The photo, which showed a polished placard reminiscent of private club decor,

00:40became a flashpoint for humor across platforms.

00:43Among the most widely shared responses was one from California Governor Gavin Newsom's official press office account.

00:49The account edited the sign to read,

00:51Live, Laugh, Lose.

00:53A riff on the common live, laugh, love, phrase frequently associated with suburban decor.

00:59Dozens of accounts joined with customized versions and parody slogans,

01:03mocking the aesthetic as outdated or using it to jab at political tensions in Washington.

01:08The sign is the latest detail to attract attention amid broader changes underway at the White House.

01:13The president authorized demolition of the East Wing to make room for a new $300 million ballroom,

01:20a project already drawing scrutiny for its scale and cost.

01:24Recently, President Donald Trump also announced that he had renovated the historic Lincoln bathroom,

01:29calling its previous 1940s design totally inappropriate for the Lincoln era.

01:34Public Citizen reports that at least 14 of the two dozen publicly identified corporate donors

01:40to the Ballroom Project face or recently faced federal enforcement actions,

01:45or had those actions halted by the Trump administration.

01:49The donors include Amazon, accused by the Justice Department of concealing worker injuries,

01:54and Apple, which benefited when the National Labor Relations Board withdrew claims it violated workers' rights.

01:59The same report found that these companies have collectively received $279 billion in federal contracts over the past five years.
